Following the shocking firing of Nuggets head coach Michael Malone and general manager Calvin Booth, Logan Murdock and Howard Beck try to make sense of it all. How long has the tension been building between Malone, Booth, and the Nuggets brass (1:20)? What happened since the championship run the Nuggets had just two years ago to now that caused all of this friction and dysfunction (11:55)? Have the Minnesota Timberwolves underachieved or overachieved based off of the Karl-Anthony Towns for Julius Randle trade (25:28)? Logan has one question for each Western Conference team as we head into the final weekend of the NBA regular season (36:31). Plus, the mailbag! Could a team comprised of foreign stars beat an all-USA team?
